A biology professor at Macalester College in Saint Paul, Minnesota, allegedly urinated on a student’s backpack on December 5, 2025, causing approximately $2,000 in damages. This incident is part of a series of mysterious urine-related events reported over the past two years, including instances where pee was found in trash cans and water bottles across the Olin-Rice Science Center campus. The professor, Paul Fischer, admitted to developing a habit of urinating into cups and disposing of them improperly around the college, leading him to resign amidst an investigation by the school. He faces criminal charges for first-degree property damage with potential penalties including up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
