In 2013, Independence Community College became the first public college in Kansas to allow the concealed carry of handguns.<ref>{{cite web |title=Concealed-carry law goes into effect at Kansas colleges, universities - News - The Garden City Telegram - Garden City, KS |url=http://www.gctelegram.com/b0a59959-531d-5fd4-bad0-4905b5682e1c.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180103031052/http://www.gctelegram.com/b0a59959-531d-5fd4-bad0-4905b5682e1c.html |archive-date=2018-01-03 |website=www.gctelegram.com}}</ref> As more states require public colleges to allow concealed carry, Barwick has spoken and published on the data gathered during the period since the rule was enacted, the process used to construct his campus' policy, and the insurance options for schools who choose to allow concealed carry.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2018-04-11 |title=Developing concealed-carry policies for campuses |url=http://www.ccdaily.com/2018/04/developing-concealed-carry-policies-campuses/}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last1=Yaccino |first1=Steven |date=2013-07-07 |title=Schools Seeking to Arm Employees Hit Hurdle on Insurance |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/08/us/schools-seeking-to-arm-employees-hit-hurdle-on-insurance.html |newspaper=The New York Times}}</ref>

In 2016, Barwick was one of eight presidents who threatened to leave the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference over concerns regarding football roster limitations. Barwick and the seven other presidents argued that the roster limitations were originally based on racial discrimination, and continued to have a discriminatory effect against minority athletes. The conference subsequently voted unanimously to eliminate the restrictions.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Eldridge |first=Taylor |date=20 October 2016 |title=Jayhawk Conference eliminates its roster, scholarship limits |url=https://www.kansas.com/sports/article109538887.html |website=The Wichita Eagle}}</ref>

Barwick was a proponent of the view that a negative link between large class size, generically understood, and reduced learning outcomes has not been proven to exist in higher education, and has argued that additional funding for research is needed.<ref>{{cite web|last=Barwick |first=Daniel W. |url=http://www.insidehighered.com/views/2007/12/06/barwick |title=Views: Does Class Size Matter? |publisher=Inside Higher Ed |date= |accessdate=October 3, 2011}}</ref> An early advocate for the Mooc, he has argued that although a negative link has been established between certain types of instruction in large classes and learning outcomes, there was not sufficient experimentation with different instructional methods to determine whether large class size was always correlated with poorer outcomes.

In 2021, Barwick first published his view that the majority of colleges should shift to what he called a “trundle,” a teaching-based version of Scott Galloway’s “rundle,” which is itself a combination of bundling of services and a subscription-based payment model.<ref>Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211209/QYPNuasLHQg Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}} and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20210719023427/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYPNuasLHQg Wayback Machine]{{cbignore}}: {{cite AV media| url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYPNuasLHQg| title = The Trundle is the Future of Higher Education | website=YouTube}}{{cbignore}}</ref> Barwick has argued that the current transaction model of higher education, which requires a commitment of time, effort, and money from the student with no guarantee of success, is increasingly unattractive to prospective students and will gradually erode enrollments further.
