California Court of Appeal

In suit alleging defendant has a 70-year history of discriminatory hiring practices against African-Americans in full time tenure track and faculty positions, summary judgment for defendant against two of three plaintiffs is reversed where purported acts of retaliation were inside the one-year administrative statute of limitations for one plaintiff, and there is a triable issue as to whether the time to file an administrative complaint with the Department of Fair Employment and Housing was equitably tolled while another plaintiff pursued her internal community college system remedies.
