Thanks for posting this. I am a big proponent of such policies, to protected both the rights of viewed and the viewer. As one who primary vertical market is education security, i can tell you that many Higher Eds have such policies. In fact such policies should extend to all security systems, including IDS and access control as well as video. First and formost policies should prohibit "rogue" security systems and ensure that the term "security system" is well defined. Buffalo does this (at least as it relates to video) in their policy.
Check your site link, it seems to have been changed to http://hr.buffalostate.edu/sites/hr.buffalostate.edu/files/uploads/Documents/video.pdf. Also The actual policy is four pages. Maybe it was changed since you last saw it.

A site I maintain purposely does not actively monitor the cameras to reduce liability, at least that is how it was explained to me.
