The future of Cleo Carney, daughter of former Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, at Harvard University remains uncertain amid policy changes affecting international students.
The White House's recent actions have placed the futures of international students at Harvard University in jeopardy, including Cleo Carney, the daughter of Mark Carney, former Canadian Prime Minister.
Last week, the Trump administration revoked Harvard's authority to enroll international students, forcing current foreign learners to seek transfer opportunities or face potential visa issues.
"They have lost their Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification due to non-compliance," remarked Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem earlier in May, emphasizing a firm stance towards universities nationwide.
In response, Harvard legally challenged the decision, achieving a temporary win. The university stated, "The May 29 court ruling permits continued enrollment of international students and scholars as litigation proceeds, safeguarding their vital role within our academic community."
Cleo, a first-year economics student, follows in her father's footsteps, Mark Carney being an alumnus of 1987. Having introduced her father as the Liberal Party leader earlier this year, Cleo plays a significant role at the university and within climate advocacy circles.
She is actively involved with Harvard’s Resource Efficiency Program and has contributed to the Bluedot Institute, where her focus on strategic mining investments has been noted.
The White House has not commented specifically, but a senior official indicated that prioritizing American welfare remains the administration's overarching goal, potentially impacting Carney and other international students.
As her return to Harvard this September remains uncertain, speculation continues regarding her siblings' educational paths, with Sasha having graduated from Yale and Amelia reportedly completing studies at the University of Edinburgh.
