I think the people,who wrote that copy,mistakenly believe that infamous and famous are synonyms.
It's been a long time since high school and I too have been guilty of this, and most probably do when seen in this context, but I wasn't printing it on such documents either. LOL They really ought to re-print what they can, that sounds bad.
From Merriam-Webster
"Definition of infamous
1 : having a reputation of the worst kind : notoriously evil
- an infamous traitor
- an infamous crime"
