There are a lot statistics for Engineering and CS salaries. I believe the major 
factor is that while engineering/CS professor salaries have gone up at about 
the same rate as those in industry, the typical teaching load has more than 
dropped in half. Consequently, the cost of teaching a student has gone up to 
account for how universities are subsidizing research out of tuition. To some 
extent this problem is build into the system since NSF will not cover salaries 
during the academic year.
