Former employees brought suit against employer Antelope Valley Community College District, alleging racial harassment, discrimination and retaliation. The trial court dismissed the case, holding that the statute of limitations for plaintiffs’ claims asserted under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act had expired. The court of appeal and the California Supreme Court reversed the dismissal, holding that the statute of limitations was tolled while plaintiffs were voluntarily pursuing internal administrative remedies against the District prior to the filing of the lawsuit.
