Most decent schools should teach CS as an applied math course. In fact most undergrad CS majors should graduate not too many credits shy from an undergrad Math degree (or at least a minor).
The problem is that student demand isn't for CS. Student demand is for Information Systems and Software Engineering. Schools either respond to that demand and turn their CS programs into glorified trade schools, or they keep CS as an applied mathematics program like it's supposed to be and risk angering new grads (e.g. "I didn't learn anything useful in my CS program!")
