You don't need professors to teach programming languages.
You can get a lecturer, maybe a graduate student, to do that.
You don't need to teach programming languages
to computer science students.
Computer science students are usually smart enough
to pick up programming languages on their own as needed.
When computer programming languages are offered at a University
to computer science students they are considered "remedial".

I don't think so.  Software Engineering is a field in Computer Science.
What you are witnessing is not a shift away from computer science
but rapid relative growth in a field of computer science
that has long been neglected and is exploding now only because
there are finally computers fast enough with enough memory and storage
that it is practical to design and implement
*very* large software packages.

Unfortunately, programming has almost nothing to do
with software engineering as you well know.
A software engineer is *not* just a glorified computer programmer.
