Nah, I think "liberal arts" fits the bill. Including natural sciences. In contrast to the professional colleges: Law/Business/Medicine/Engineering (which CS should be at-parity with). Of course LACs don't have law schools or med schools or (usually) engineering colleges, so the difficulty of properly compensating CS is understandable with respect to those fields. However, LACs do tend to have Finance/Accounting, and often pay folks in those departments better, but for whatever reason don't treat their CS faculty like their Finance faculty. My own pet theory for this market mismatch is that finance/business types tend to dominate those college's boards. LAC boards have a lot of older folks who still think of CS as code monkeying.
