retired on account of age
The text doesn't say 'old age'. Depending on the institution, it could be 60, which is not 'old'.

ttp://slb-ltsu.hull.ac.uk/awe/index.php?title=Due_to_-_owing_to
The two phrases due to and owing to seem to be used interchangeably in everyday English, but there is a pedantic dislike of using due to in the same way as owing to among some academics. Like many pedantic dislikes, this one flourishes in academic circles - and appears to have little real reason behind it. The first edition of Fowler (1926) regarded due to in this usage as "used by the illiterate". However, by 1996 Burchfield's Fowler was saying that "Hostility to the construction is an entirely [20th century] phenomenon" - and there seems to AWE no good reason why it should be extended into the 21st century.

: Incorrect use of 'due to' - plus it may not be "old" age; it's simply the institution's statory retirement age.

My use of due to is only "incorrect" to the traditionalists among us who do not recognise it for the compound preposition it has become. Google "retired due to" and you'll get over 2.7 million hits. In labour market terms 60 is "old" sorry...
