Fisher v. University of Texas The University of Texas at Austin considered an applicant's race in its admissions decisions, along with a number of other factors, but only for those applicants who were not admitted based on other, race-neutral criteria. The plaintiffs here were denied admission to the Fall Semester entering class and sued, arguing that UT's use of race violated the Equal Protection Clause. Lozman v. City of Riviera Beach, Florida Under federal law, the word 'vessel' includes every description of watercraft or other artificial contrivance used, or capable of being used, as a means of transporta- tion on water. See I U.S.C. § 3. In this case, the Court must clarify the meaning of the words capable of being used and decide whether an indefinitely moored structure should be considered a vessel. /M Division for AERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION Public Education
