The only people who pay attention the US News rankings are prospective students and their families. You'd be surprised how little higher ed administrators care about the quality of the undergraduate education in their institutions.
Decision-makers in higher education care about AAU status and global rankings that focus on research. One example would be the Shanghai-Jiaotong rankings: LINK
Even this ranking system is viewed with considerable skepticism, however. It focuses almost entirely on the hard sciences, as it was developed as a way for Chinese unis to benchmark themselves against the rest of the world. Without academic freedom and strong homegrown academic journals, the humanities and social sciences are largely hopeless in Chinese universities.
