One of my old girlfriends was a Ph.D in education. The protocol is for people at the school to call you "Dr." because, of course, that's their bread and butter. To ask/demand that somebody not in your university to do that? Sad.

ETA: Also, it's a bit fraudulent. General usage is that we call MDs, DOs, etc...doctor. Whoopi Goldberg even said (of course, without knowing that she wasn't a real doctor) said, "She's a helluva doctor!" Hmm...We can bet that Whoopi didn't mean "She's a helluva a doctor of Educaton! You should see her lecture!"
