Yes, Exalted is a triggered ability (it's written to start with either "when", "whenever", or "at") and can be copied with Strionic Resonator.
You can use the Resonator to make a copy of any triggered ability (except a triggered mana ability like Heartbeat of Spring etc., because they resolve too quickly to make a response), and most of the time it will work out just fine. Where you might run into problems is abilities like Academy Rector's that require some other cost to be paid in order to get the effect. The cost will be written out in the general form of "...a player does something. If they do..." (see also something like Flameblast Dragon etc.). You have to be able to pay the cost for both triggers in order to get the effect twice.

No, unfortunately this doesn't work. You'll only be able to perform the "...you may exile it. If you do..." part of one of the triggers. When the next one starts resolving, Academy Rector is already gone from the graveyard and can't be exiled again.
