Absolutely. Jason is entirely free to do as he wishes. However, if he says 'I'm not going to do it because my professor doesn't, and I'm worried that it mean I can't get it in a journal if I do', then I'm going to correct the misapprehension of the second part. And point out that saying 'I won't do it because X doesn't' means I'm free to say 'but person Y does, so that's just a good a reason for putting it there as not putting it there'. If you have a good reason for not putting it there, fine, but don't use the 'oh he doesn't so I won't routine'; it's as weak as my 'but he does so should you' come back.
There are reasons for using it, and I'm sure you have reasons for not using too. Feel free to offer a different opinion. At least that way Jason can hear both sides of the argument for its use or non-use.
