Embarrassing news at the University of Kansas

Two professors (both in science fields) get caught plagiarizing despite the warnings from colleagues. It was said that one of the professors plagiarized text in four scholarly works; the otheer professor failed to take action to stop the plagiarized text - "Unfortuantely it was published." Both professors made to the front page on the local newspapers, Journal World (with photos).

How embarrassing!

I am wondering whether they did it intentionally or unintentionally. Do they know there are many ways youcan detect and avoid plagiarizing? There are even free software that people can use to check on the "suspected plagiarized text."
