        According to Yokoyama, -approximately- reflexivization occurs when
the speaker "leaves" his/her own point of view (to identify with the
addressee or the subject of the sentence). My guess is :
Here we have as a subject a diploma, inanimate noun. It is too much trouble
for the speaker to "shift out" of his point of view for the sake of the
inanimate object, so - no reflexivization.
 -all the best -
