US News should just get rid of %NAE. Strictly speaking, even the dean or president should not be counted. Many schools may violate this rule though it's definitely not as big of a deal as including emeritus, part-time, or adjunct prof...etc. The PA more or less reflects NAE anyway (the more big-name professors that are active in the school, the more reputable the program is). But as the Clemson case shows, PA is also subject to manipulation.
