IMO Computer Science doesn't have enough mathematics in the core curriculum. I think more CS students should be double majoring or minoring in Physics and/or Math. The skills you gain in analyzing problems and constructing models in Physics, finding truth/false values and analyzing problems in math, and the algorithmic skills in CS really compliment each other.

Instead of people "hacking" university education to make them purely fotm job training centers. The real hack would be something that really drills down at the fundamentals. CS, Math, Physics, and Philosophy to get an all around education in approaching problems from fundamentals I think would be the optimal school experience.
