Abstract: The conflict between the political agenda and practical implementation is not unique to the evaluation of Educational Opportunity Programs at community colleges; it is a problem that plagues the development, initiation, and maintenance of all innovative services and service delivery systems. It is a particular feature of most remedial education programs due to their regulated (legislated and funded) nature. This article documents the interaction between state and local service delivery systems and discusses the politics of conducting a multi-site evaluation which straddled state and local funding mechanisms and service delivery systems in terms of the problems encountered and appropriate evaluation practice.
