Almost no accredited school would. It really shakes their credibility. Still, I've seen it done, but I can't think of where exactly. It is rather common among the unaccredited crowd to do things like this. Most do it for the bucks - and they charge some big bucks. Others do it to mollify their leader. Sort of like when Hugo Chavez shows up on a campus in Venezuela. You'd better put a robe on the guy and a pallium if you want to keep doing business.
... not to say that NAU ever demanded such honors, quite the opposite, from my experience. But we did have a toady culture that did such things.
