The daughter of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney could be barred from returning to Harvard University in the fall thanks to the ongoing standoff between the Trump administration and the Ivy League school, The Post has learned.
Cleo Carney, who grew up in London while her father was Governor of the Bank of England, just finished her freshman year at the embattled Cambridge-based institution.
She’s one of the nearly-7,000 international students whose time at Harvard could end after Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem moved to terminate the school’s student visa program for the 2025-2026 school year.
The younger Carney is following in her father’s footsteps, pursuing a bachelor’s in economics at the university. Mark Carney — who spent a number of years south of the 49th parallel but now talks tough about the US — is a Harvard grad.
Cleo is due to return in September for her second year of classes.
Foreign students like Carney — who make up more than a quarter of Harvard’s student body — could be forced to transfer to other institutions or lose their legal status after the university refused a request to turn over foreign students’ records, including any video or audio of their protest activity in the past five years.
Though a Massachusetts judge issued a preliminary injunction against the federal government Thursday, the saga is not over.
The White House confirmed Carney, along with other international students, would get the boot if the administration gets its way.
“The President’s goal is clear: we will put America first, and that means our policies on everything from trade to immigration should benefit Americans, not other nations at the expense of our people,” a senior administration official told The Post.

I don’t think innocent foreign students or faculty should be collateral damage.
The Dpartment of Education lawyers should officially investigate the deprivation of rights of Jewish and Israeli students and get the necessary court orders and proof needed to prosecute (and deport) civil rights violators.
I would ask them why they don’t have any good colleges in Canada, eh.
Mark Carney was a member of Harvard’s Board of Overseers before he resigned when he became Canadian Prime Minister.
Trump’s demented war against Harvard has a lot of collateral damage!
“ I don’t think innocent foreign students or faculty should be collateral damage.”

Obviously Harvard disagrees with you and insists they will be.
While I agree, Cleo Carney is not one of them. She's to the left of her father. Not hard to search for the relevant facts.
The Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) have launched Title VI investigations into Harvard University and Harvard Law Review, alleging discriminatory practices.
Investigate Chinese spy networks, whatever it takes to get to the root of whatever Trump is concerned with but I agree don’t take it out on all students.
And most importantly restore NIH funding cuts that threaten the search for life-saving cures and jobs in every state and institution in the country. ·
If we don’t end antisemitism now then when. Stop at nothing to end it.
Interesting. Thanks for posting.
I think they should be mostly medical students because there's an obvious need in that field.
She grew up in London. There's plenty of colleges in the UK she could attend. Daddy must be a cheapskate, sending her to Harvard.
Agree 100%. /a Catholic
This is my shocked face.
She and Tampon Tim’s daughter can start an international club.
Perhaps they would not admit her into a Canadian school unless she was good at hockey.
The medical schools are the worst hit with new funding formulas that will reduce research grants at hospitals and universities by billions. Looking forward to a justification from the NIH director and Kennedy if not Trump himself.
LOL!! That's funny. My mother was born in Canada and came here as a little girl with her mother and only brother. After she passed I went to Canada to research that side of the family. I ended up being put in touch with cousins I never knew, and they told me we were cousins of Tim Horton. I had no idea who he was up to that time. It was the first time I went to a Tim Horton's restaurant. They were only in Canada back then.
She wasn’t caught, she jumped in with both feet.
AKA Timmy Ho’s, per my Toledo cousin.
And FWLIW I have cheese curds and some freeze dried instant gravy I need to find an excuse to fix. Wife got it for an event and bought enough to do it twice. It turned out pretty well.
Yeah! Hark off ya hosers!
