I'm CS since 2015 and am graduating next year. Most of our programming classes were in Java, which was deemed outdated by some. But we still had an operating systems and an embedded systems course that used C exclusively. I think it's important to use the language that best applies to the course material. For example we looked at UNIX in the OS course and it really made sense to use C there. But when we did Algorithms and data structures we used Java for that. Using C really takes away from the point and bogs you down in language specifics in this case.
