I don't know this survey. But I've read similar and recently published surveys on the subject. Notably, if you stratified the sample to remove computer science students the conclusion is reversed.

I (and I'm sure, others) would absolutely love to see a link or resource for this, could someone provide one?

It seems unlikely-- in order to be true, computer science majors would need to actually have higher income with degrees from less competitive schools.

These data may only include people who get a bachelor's degree without going on to get a master's/PhD, which could explain the discrepancy.
