I think it's common among universities that have a divinity school or an explicit religious alignment. Harvard has a divinity school and an unusual history tying back to the theocratic Massachusetts Bay Colony. The governing entity "President and Fellows of Harvard College" is actually written into the Massachusetts Constitution as holding its rights and powers in perpetuity, with one of the justifications for its existence being "the advantage of the Christian religion" [1]. That being said, the Harvard Chaplains organization hasn't been exclusively Christian for a long time.
