You should look up salaries for professors/lecturers that teach business, law, and medicine. They pay a lot more than salaries for professors/lecturers for history, math, and literature.

Med is different for a lot of reasons.

But, yeah, the delta between econ/law and CS faculty salaries is why I turned down TT offers and went to industry.

They can pay. They're choosing not to.

Just a consideration: Do these differences in salaries for professors of the different subjects also show up in tuition fees for students of the respective subject?

Not at the types of institutions I would be working at (or most institutions, for that matter).

They have their own schools which is why they can do this. These are considered graduate programs as well.

So does CS at a lot of places.

Also, econ/fin/law makes more even at undergrad only institutions. It's a perception thing with admin. ESPECIALLY at those places, until institutions pay CS profs market wages, stay away unless you want to wake up when you're 60 and realize you can't afford to retire like all your grad school friends and so can't spend as much time as you'd like with your grandkids because you're teaching courses every semester.
