If it were me and I were MSU I wouldn't say or put anything out at all and just pretend like it's a dumb rumor and move on. The alleged other party isn't at MSU anymore and she is more than legal age and it appears consensual.
Assuming that this is the first time Cann has done something "wrong" at work I would definitely write him up or whatever MSU does and tell him he's not getting a raise this year. I would then add that if he does it again, he's gone. If he wants counseling, we'll give it to him.
That's just how I would handle it based on what is rumored.
