The fact that they are from VHS is not really relevent. It is never legal to post an entire film online unless you are the rights holder or have written permissin from them (like a contract)The right to digitize and stream belongs to the rights holder. Would not matter if it were on closed campus system (unless you had rights and in that case you would certainly not be able to put on youtube or anywhere else).
I can't imagine there is any "educational rights" sale that includes youtube. I appreciate that you are asking but this is kind of sign of how insane things have gotten in what academics ( faculty) thing they are entitled to do and often seem to get away with. I fall back on my old suggestion that you tell them that their classes are being taped and the they will now be posted online ( and the school will be charging students to watch them as they are classes) but their services are no longer needed. It rarely has any effect but this is the anology of what they are doing to the people who made and produced the material they are posting.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
