Hmmm... I think "up-to-date" professors. I've had professors who've been teaching for decades and they're still stuck in the decade they started teaching. In some instances it's ok, but in other instances it's just obsolete and new methods to approach a certain problem have been developed since then, which they are unaware of.
Interesting this, as part of my degree(computer system engineering) there is a final year engineering management class where the lecturer updates the lecture before it is given to reflect current business details.
I think this is awesome compared to say another subject I have now where there is two lectures on the semantic web which seemed to describe the exact same stuff that has been around for the best part of a decade.
