there are no charges related to tuition, room, and board
This is no longer true as written. IMSA now accepts tuition-paying out-of-state students, who are charged for tuition, room, and board.
Full reasoning
IMSA’s official out-of-state admissions page says the Academy is "accepting a small number of tuition-paying students from outside Illinois" and that eligible out-of-state students "should be prepared to cover annual tuition, room and board costs of approximately $55,000-$57,000." That directly contradicts the article’s blanket statement that there are no charges for tuition, room, and board. At most, the no-charge statement is true for Illinois residents, not for all IMSA students.

member of Starbucks' Board of Directors.
Clara Shih is no longer a Starbucks director. Investor-relations material says she served on Starbucks’ board from 2011 to 2023.
Full reasoning
The claim is outdated. HubSpot’s investor-relations biography for Clara Shih states that she "served on the board of directors of Starbucks from 2011 to 2023," which means she is not a current member of Starbucks’ board. Starbucks’ 2026 board biographies list the company’s current directors, and Clara Shih is not among them. So the present-tense statement that she is a member of Starbucks’ Board of Directors is incorrect.

who studies high energy physics at Harvard University.
This is outdated. Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski is currently Research Faculty at the Perimeter Institute, not a current Harvard researcher/student.
Full reasoning
Perimeter Institute’s official biography says Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski "is a high energy theorist who joined the Perimeter faculty in 2021 after completing a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Princeton Centre for Theoretical Science," and lists her position as "Research Faculty" with positions held including "Research Faculty, Perimeter Institute, 2022-present." Harvard’s Black Hole Initiative page likewise labels her a "BHI Graduate Student Alum" and identifies her as a "Postdoctoral Researcher" at the Princeton University Center for Theoretical Science, confirming that her Harvard affiliation is past rather than current. So the present-tense statement that she studies high energy physics at Harvard University is incorrect.
