Evergreen College Refuses to Share Affirmative Action Policy

So apparently Evergreen College refuses to publicly share their Affirmative Action Plan. Their website states that it is "available to the public upon request". When requested, their "Affirmative Action & Equal Opportunity Officer" claims they will only make it available for viewing "in part" and ONLY in a room on their campus. No copies, no dissemination.
They even have a federal statute regarding exceptions to FOIA on the ready. The statute they cite is an exception for "personnel and medical files and similar files the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy".
Anyone curious what is in Evergreen College's Affirmative Action Plan that they feel so strongly about hiding?
As an aside, it's it adorable how they include their preferred pronouns in their email sig?

If they didn't receive federal funding, it would be rather odd for them to so quickly invoke a [totally non-applicable] FOIA exemption statute. That would only be applicable if their Affirmative Action Plan included private information on specific personnel. And hey, perhaps it does. And perhaps that would be a direct violation of equal opportunity employment regulations. Either way, it seems quite sketchy. They're certainly hiding some dirty laundry.
According to http://www.ofm.wa.gov/budget17/detail/nl376.pdf ,
"Grants-in-Aid Scholarships and Fellowships Account
This account includes grant monies for scholarships and fellowships. Examples of activities within this account are the
educational opportunities grants and the Bureau of Indian Affairs grants. Revenue is received from federal or non-federal
agencies"
and
"Student Loan Account
This account is loadable to students. It includes the Student Loan Account and the National Direct Student Loan Account.
Revenue comes from tuition and fees, federal contributions, The Evergreen State College match, and interest on loans."
