First, local laws can be more stringent that the NEC, so even if it's not against NEC code, it may be against local codes.I believe that hardwiring a consumer piece that's not designed for hardwiring will require some sort of junction box to which you can attach the IEC pig-tail. Said box will have to be accessable, so you can't bury it behind drywall. And any cable coing in or going out of the box will have to be strain-relieved and maybe protected. Don't be suprised if the local inspector throws a fit.
BTW - household wiring is not taught in EE school (by which I assume you mean an college or university with an engineering curriculum), it's taught in trade school (or Vo-Tech if you will.)
And yes, the NEC is essentially a legal document, written to protect people from lawsuits and insurance fraud.
