> We pay very very well, all my peers from NVIDIA are above 700k.

That's... an impressive number.

> Why would you presume anything about salary?

Because that's usually the reason, especially when speaking of what universities teach. "We can't find people who know $TECH" is, under those circumstances, almost always corp-speak for "We can't find new grads who already know $TECH to fill our entry level positions for what we're willing to pay in order to replace the employees that learned it on the job and then leave when we don't give them raises after a couple of years."

Have you posted the positions you're trying to fill here on the monthly "Who is Hiring?" thread?

As an out of the box suggestion, consider sponsoring the creation of an online course (like a Udacity nanodegree, perhaps) that covers the curriculum material you consider missing. A comprehensive set of 'build your own programming language and tooling' courses would probably be quite popular.
